 The
INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN TRIATHLON NETWORK – ICTN
A network of individuals, ministries and organizations that love the Lord passionately and are involved in the sport of triathlon. Some of the ministries and organizations involved are, Athletes In Action, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Christian Broadcasting Network, ANC Racing, Step Up To Life and Iron Prayer. PURPOSE: The ICTN exists to ENGAGE Christian triathletes* across the globe with each other, to EQUIP them for EVANGELISM and ENCOURAGE them in their faith.VISION: To see thousands of Christian triathletes and multi-sport athletes become loving and bold witnesses for Jesus Christ, resulting in others coming into a living and vital personal relationship with the Lord. 4 "E"s Engage - Christian triathlon clubs, organizations, race directors, as well as Christian triathletes, professionals and age groupers, are surfacing around the world. Much benefit could come from them being connected with each other for mutual encouragement and equipping. This will be done a number of ways, the high point of which will be an annual ICTN 2 day conference where everyone could engage each other face to face giving the opportunity to form many personal friendships. Equipping for Evangelism - Christian triathletes need to be equipped to share their faith in a natural, yet effective manner with others who share their passion for triathlon training and racing. Triathlon specific tools could be produced to help accomplish this. Tools/resources already available would be made known and available for athletes to use. At the conference, seminars and workshops would be given for further equipping in these and other areas (as well as in the 3 disciplines of triathlon). Encouragement - All of us hit the wall at times and need a shot of encouragement to keep pressing on. The International Christian Triathlon Network, through friendships that are developed, e-connections, being together at races, the annual conference, etc., would all provide a heavy duty dose of "iron on iron" that would make everyone sharper in the Lord. (*Triathletes, Duathletes, Mulit-sport athletes, family members, friends, race directors, etc. The ICTN is not open only to triathletes but all those who are involved in multi-sport or endurance sports in one way or another.)
